Uganda: Moving and Living in Uganda:

Ogamba ki! Me and my Ugandan husband are planning to move to Uganda(near Kampala) from my home country in Scandinavia. I would really appreciate if someone provides us with some answers to these questions. We consider raising our kids in Uganda. How much are the school fees(private and boarding school)? I have a master's degree in art education. How much does a University/High school teacher earn in Uganda? What are my chances of getting a job in this profession? I found a web blog which said that "a teacher in Uganda earns abt 50-76 € per month. Lawyers and doctors are the best payed, they earn 200-250€ per month." To which extend is this true? It would be wonderful to hear your experiences of working and living in Uganda as a family. Webale nyo!

Finland: 10 Tips for Living in Finland:

Tips for Living in Finland 1. Do not expect to find any work if you don't know Finnish or Swedish. If you don't know the language you need very good contacts to get a job. When you fill in job applications, you better get someone to write it for you in Finnish. In many cases the elderly people who process the applications don't know English. 2. The people are silent and not so social. In winter, the life is quiet and people spend most of their time indoors due to the darkness and cold weather. To make friends is not so easy. 3. To see something very beautiful, do wandering in Lapland in autumn. 4. Study. Education is free. 5. In summer, you can for example visit various music festivals (Provinssi rock, Qstock, Tuska festival, World village festival etc.) or book a summer cottage, get a rod&reel and go fishing.
